Fat AF. Had it in Dec. Lasted bout week and half. Chills, tired feeling. Some aches. Felt kinda bad but not terrible. Lost sense of taste and smell for about 3 days.

Overall worst part was just worrying if it was going to take a turn for the worse. It didnt. Im alive and still fat AF.

Been going to gym for year and a half no mask (95% there also don't wear a mask), chew my fingernails while there. Never felt sick. About 7 days ago got sore throat, blowing snot rockets every 5 min, coughing up mucus, couldn't smell anything or taste for 5 days. Had like 2 days of body feeling bad. Got taste back today and smell mostly. Never got tested so who knows. Wife and kid got it from me. He threw up for few days but is fine now and wife only felt crappy for day took 1 day off work and went back.

The virus itself wasn't so bad. A whole week in bed with the first days with high fever. After that just fatigue and shortness of breath on the second week. My doctor prescribed me dexamethasone to expand the lungs, its a steroid that phucken me up worse than covid. Had intense mood swings and ed for a month of two after that, would not recommend any kind of medication that messes with your hormones.

After getting vitamin B supplements got my dick back to normal. Trust me boyos crazy hormonal moods swings plus a broken dick is not fun at all. Was on the verge of roping srs.

Banged my new girl like a maniac when i got back to normal felt so grateful to have a working dick again. So my final advice is that if you get the virus be weary of what your doc prescribes, specially if you have a mild case

Didn't even notice it. Coworkers were phucking around with the temperature gun and saw that I had a 100.3 fever. I said phuk it and got tested despite feeling fine and I came back positive. Next day my "fever" broke and I can 5 miles and enjoy 2 weeks paid time off.

Rough first 3-4 days; high fever, debilitating headache, chills, body aches, puking on the first day.

Following that, I got tired pretty easily from anything even remotely strenuous, I had some days where I would cough incessantly or sneeze. Overall, I was sick for about two weeks, the feeling of being easily fatigued being the last symptom to go.

I’ve had flus that were about on par or maybe even a bit worse than the initial days or COVID, but I think COVID is the longest I’ve had symptoms persist before.

1 month, brain fog was the longest lasting symptom, and lost voice.

Never lost smell or taste.

For 6 days I thought this might be the end lol.

I don’t even know if I had it but I assume I did because I was exposed multiple times and never wore a mask except for when I was at work. A girl I was seeing tested positive for it a day after we had sex, and then I had to get tested but came back negative. Same for the other 2 times I was exposed at work and they made me get tested. Negative negative.

It’s bull****. Nothing but a scam to try to gain Marxist control of a country

Symptoms felt less than a cold. Felt sleepy 2-3 days so I took naps. Had cough that only occurred when I drank something. Cough when I drank something persisted 1-2months after I had then went away.

I was doing 50 dips in a row with Covid

I had last year around June for 10 days. The first day was general symptoms of a flu like sore throat, headache, body aches then the fever came next day. My sense of taste and smell went for about 10 days so I isolated myself at home. I think i caught it from a coworker.

But i havent fallen sick since last year after that passed so i guess i have built immunity against i dunno lol

Worst part about covid is worrying that it will turn into something more serious because that’s all the media talks about and fear mongers.

But 99.9 percent of the time; it doesn’t, kinda like most other minor illnesses that also -could- No one worries when they get a flu or a cold, but with covid the media told us to worry.

Day 2: Throat feels more sore and I’ve started developing somewhat thicker phlegm. Otherwise ok….might just be irritation from the AC running on full blast all night.

I think I eluded the gay covid goblin yet again.

this is true! I was scared when I got it - ive been very sick before when I was younger, chest colds would do me in

but in reality covid wasnt as bad on me - lung wise

recovery from covid was rather fast compared...

Yeah def agree….caving to the bs media panic only increases your cortisol levels and leaves you even more vulnerable….the anxiety itself will do you in if you allow it to.

51 years old. Got it last November, guessing original strain? I was pretty sick for a couple weeks but worked from home. Slept a lot, lost sense of smell and taste and had bad stomach aches. Lost 23lbs total, no appetite, nice side effect actually. Got horrible sweats before getting tested, fever started and had it for the full 13 days, some days worse than others. Honestly, like having a bad influenza bout.

Disclaimer - I had gotten a Shingles vaccination and Flu shot at the same time two days before I figured I got the Vid. My immune system was probably short circuiting. My fiancé got it at the same time and you wouldn't have even known she had it, totally asymptomatic.

Stopped wearing one and got Covid within 1 week srs.
I haven't worn a mask at the gym since they dropped our mandate in May. No Covid. I do wipe down handles and stuff before I touch it tho.
